“Fostering Pastoral Creativity in the Community”Megan Shepherd, Program Director, Notre Dame Vision, McGrath Institute for Church Life, Scott Boyle, Associate Director, Recruitment and Formation; Echo & Notre Dame Vision, McGrath Institute for Church LifeRegister now! The McGrath Institute for Church Life is hosting a series of virtual seminars throughout summer 2020 aimed at empowering pastoral leaders and scholars for the work of renewing the Church, especially in light of present challenges. This series builds upon the “Called & Co-Responsible” conference convened in March 2020, which explored and promoted the shared responsibility of all the baptized for the evangelizing mission of the Church. With special attention to how the pandemic in recent months has disrupted the typical rhythms of dioceses, parishes, schools, and home life, the call to co-responsibility is as timely as ever. Seminars in this series will follow that call by examining how the laity and clergy might together commit to renewing the life of the Church both now and into the future. Seminars in the series will include pastoral presentations, case studies of pastoral approaches, and discussions among participants. See here for complete schedule.

“Marriage to a Citizen: Just a Relief Valve for Immigration Policy or Also a Reason Behind Marital Instability?”   Eva DziadulaEva Dziadula is an associate teaching professor in Notre Dame’s department of economics. Her research examines migration and the determinants of citizenship for those born outside of the United States, including a focus on Mexico and other countries with significant population flows. She has previously presented her research at UPAEP and has brought Notre Dame students to visit migrant shelters in Mexico as part of a class on the economics of immigration. Dr. Dziadula received her PhD in economics from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dr. Dziadula’s presentation will examine whether family-centered immigration policy may be associated with marital instability, with particular relevance to Mexican migrants who marry U.S. citizens. Within the framework of U.S. policy, marriage to a citizen is one of the fastest pathways to obtain permanent legal status and ultimately U.S. citizenship. Furthermore, unlike most visa and status adjustment categories, it is not subject to a quota. If immigrants who are on temporary visas emphasize finding a citizen spouse in the marriage market, the marginal cost of search for a higher compatibility partner would increase. Therefore, an optimal overall match may result in suboptimal sorting along other compatibility dimensions. Once permanent residency is established, these marriages may be less stable as other characteristics would play a larger role. Dr. Dziadula investigates the relationship between the immigrants’ current citizenship status, which is an observed measure of their permanent legal status in the U.S., and the likelihood of divorce. She finds that naturalized citizens who entered their first marriages as noncitizens are 50% more likely to experience divorce, relative to otherwise comparable noncitizens. The strength of this relationship increases in magnitude, perhaps acting as a relief valve, for immigrants from countries that experience a backlog in visa processing (China, Mexico, and India).The Mexico Virtual Lecture Series is a recurring online event intended to highlight the deep connections between Notre Dame and Mexico. Each lecture focuses on the current work of a Notre Dame faculty member or researcher, covering topics that vary widely from medical research to the social sciences and arts and culture. The series is intended for a general audience and can be viewed via Zoom. Pre-registration for the session is requested and the Zoom link will be made available once registration is received.  Register here PLEASE NOTE: Indicated event times are Eastern Daylight Time (11:00am - 12:30am CDT).
